The burgers were ok, maybe a little more seasoning on the meat. Overall it was good.

I went for dinner here last weekend. The sampler (“The Foursome”) was genius — got to try all four burger varieties without committing to just one. Favorites were seriously the Hot & Heavy and Cowgirl. Also, their milkshakes are no joke.

Came by on a hot summer day, and the man tending to the shop was really nice! I ordered the Cin shake and it was really good! I definitely plan to come back soon, since the menu is so unique.

Wanted so much to like this place but it's so average and overpriced. Is it even a smash burger? No crust and no seasoning. Super soggy, bun too thick. Fries limp and unseasoned. Will not be back unfortunately.

Came here literally stood for 5 mins at the front desk. The man did not say one word to me as he fried his burger. I left. Ridiculous

First time trying smash burgers loved it you have to try it. Youll never see burgers the same. Ask for the jalapenos and spicy yum yum on it

Food was great however the atmosphere not too much. There were several people right outside the restaurant smoking huge blunts back to back. So much that the entire place reeked of weed. Owner didn’t seem to mind as if they do this all the time. Will not be coming back!

I went to wanna smash burger 3 hours before they closed the man who was the cook wasn’t inside the restaurant it took him 10 mins to notice someone was in the restaurant, the he said he couldn’t my she their specialty fries for me but they can make the burgers, I said I want both the burgers, and fries so he directed me to their next location but only to find out once I arrived there was no second location, when you google it it shows up as Wanna Smash POP UP he lied because he was being a lazy bastered I was so heated!! Once I arrived to the fake location cause mind you, it was 20 mins away from from the real location which is on nuys blvd
Tried it for the first time a week ago. This was just an impromptu bite to eat. Within walking distance from the courthouse. Eating inside was a bit warm, but the food was on point! Definitely coming back here for sure! Burgers were full of flavor and the staff was friendly. Just wish there was more room to eat!

I am not one to write reviews, but we had a great experience at this place! I ordered the kids cheeseburger and it was absolutely perfect. This place has so much heart, they cook the food in front of you and you can tell the people work there care :)

If you’re looking for an average smash burger experience that will get you in the mood, try Wanna Smash in Van Nuys.
While looking for a spot to try on National Burger Day, Wanna Smash caught my eye for obvious reasons. A burger joint themed on sexual innuendos seemed promising, but it’s important to check if the food lives up to the branding. After all, it’s not about how big your burger is, it’s how it tastes.
Location: This place is tiny. While you’re not gonna have a ton of space as a business on Van Nuys Blvd, I’m not sure why they even offer indoor seating. There are 6 stools crammed into two bench style tables, and if you really did eat with 2 people next to you it wouldn’t be comfortable. There’s some outdoor seating but it’s the same kind of crammed stool/bench seating.
Food: I got The Cowgirl because I felt like I’d been doing all the work recently.
While I think it’s a crime to serve any burger (yes, even a smash burger) without lettuce or tomato already added (the menu offers a $1 up charge for greens and other items), The Cowgirl had quality smashed patties, perfectly crisped bacon, and huge onion rings. The home made BBQ sauce was delicious, but this thing was drenched in it. It could use less. The bun was soft and fluffy, and helped keep everything together. Solid presentation.
The fries were the best part of this meal. Way more than I thought I’d get, and perfectly seasoned (not buried in chili powder like a lot of these other places like to do.) The soda was standard, but surprisingly they didn’t have ice. I also wish they had a ketchup pump instead of packets, as the paper bag and tray doesn’t really give you space to make your own pile of ketchup.
Vibe: The branding is hilarious. Every menu item is well themed, and the ingredients somehow match the vibe. It’s insane that this menu includes items like “the happy ending” but also includes a “kids cheese burger.” I guess it makes sense, since for some reason I saw two toddlers eating at this joint. Doesn’t seem like the target audience, but I guess this place makes parents not only wanna have babies, but bring ‘em along.
The award for most insane menu item name goes to the Oreo flavored Milf-shake, aptly named “snowbunny.”
All in all, this place is worth it for the experience. If you live close I’d say you should grab the food for takeout, but you can probably make do with the limited indoor and outdoor seating if you come from afar. I’ll be back here to show friends, and try some of the other unhinged menu items.
Would lightly recommend.
